Baseballguy Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Also some rumors swirling that there is a silent verbal that can't be released yet... For what class GT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHS BIG DADDY Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Derrick Favors? That would be insane if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBWC41 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 That would be insane if true. Favors would be awesome. I think it may be Hood though. He named us his leader in an interview a few days ago and also said he would like to make a decision soon. Either one would be fine with me:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPat02 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 The odds of this holding up are not great. This is unprecedented, but definitly not a likely situation! Hasn't Tim Floyd gotten a couple commits from middle schoolers at USC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellalumni40 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I read nothing into this. I doubt (and hope) that an offer was not extended from BCG. That would just be stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCPATS Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 This is an odd recruiting story. According to Rivals. BCG watched the kid play, by accident, one time at an event here recently. He told the kids father he liked his game. The kids father then called BCG and BCG offered the scholarship to the kid on the phone. The odd that this kid ever steps foot on UK's campus are very slim. He is 13 or 14 years old, and college is way...way... far away. BCG is recruiting for the future, it just seems he is taking too many early commitments. This week alone he has took a high school freshman and a middle schooler. Sometimes these kids don't develop anymore, and the verbal commitment of them could keep other prospects from being interested. Isn't the kid who verballed to UK a week or two after BCG decommiting. One thing about, like it or not he is at least spreading the word and getting in with these kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPat02 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 While I think there's about a 40% chance he ever suits up for UK, I think this is great news for the program. Looks like UK is back on the recruiting map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobaar Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Isn't the kid who verballed to UK a week or two after BCG decommiting. GJ Vilarino. And no, he's not decommiting (at this point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPat02 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 GJ Vilarino. And no, he's not decommiting (at this point). I still wonder whether or not BCG was just using Vilarino to get the recruiting ball rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letabrotherspeak Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Exposure and image... BCG went to work on 2010 class. As Mike DeCoursey mentioned in the Sporting News, the recruiting game is changing. Ferguson said it was too late for IU to get in on him...too late? UK's 2010 class will be off the hook if they get two more verbals from kids that I am hearing about that may very well verbal soon. I believe that Jon Hood is the next verbal, they are alluding too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
